This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study investigates how your brain normally puts words and sentences together, and what changes after a stroke that makes this harder. Researchers will ask you to speak, listen to words and sentences, and measure your brain activity while you do language tasks. The goal is to understand the different types of sentence-production problems people experience after stroke so that future treatments can be more effective.
After a stroke, many people struggle to produce complete sentences—but the reasons why differ from person to person. Current treatments focus on one problem at a time, which limits how much people improve. This study aims to map out all the ways the brain's language system breaks down so doctors can design better, more targeted therapies.

You will be asked to participate in language tasks where you speak, listen to, and repeat words and sentences—some easy, some more complex. While you do these tasks, researchers will measure your brain activity using imaging technology and record how fast and accurately you respond. The study involves working with researchers at the University of Maryland, and the exact number of visits and duration will be discussed with you during enrollment.
